HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that this may be related to peyronie's disease but this would need to be confirmed by a visit to your doctor.
Peyronie's disease is a condition associated with curvature of the penis though this is commonly occurs with pain. There is an area of fibrous or scar tissue within the penis that pulls and causes the curvature to occur
The exact cause is unknown.
An urologist is the doctor that would be best able to assess and treat.
Treatment . There are different treatment plans with varied success: (1) vitamin E- one study , at doses 200mg to 300mg
(2) PABA- potassium aminobenzoate
(3) collagenase clostridium histolyticum- approved in Dec 2013 for this condition
(4)colchicine- normally used for gout, it is also thought to be helpful in peyronie's. It can cause stomach upset
(5) surgery is also an option
In some cases, a combination of oral meds are used to get the maximum result.
